Leonard had 24 points and 12 rebounds in his Toronto debut, Kyle Lowry scored 27 points and the Raptors beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 116-104 on Wednesday night, extending their streak of opening-night victories to six.

“You don’t see many Mack trucks that move like Ferraris,” says Toronto Raptors teammate Danny Green, before a season-opening 116-104 win over the post-LeBron James Cleveland Cavaliers. “Kawhi’s just so naturally gifted with what he’s given to make life harder for you, with his length, his arms, his hands.

Kawhi also got a nice intro.
